Intergalactic Summit

Burning of heretics.. And may I ask Savonarola-haani, what makes a heretic? And would i be considered amongst them for not believe the Amarrian faith? Or is a heretic those who have turned away from your faith?

Thank you very much Tash-Murkon-haan, i trust it will be an enlightening experience to learn more about our allies and friends, i look forward to learning and discussing more with you and your brothers of the faith, I hope you can all teach me something new and treat me as an equal.

And thank you for explaining that for me, i was curious

It is their faith, and their people, I am assuming they are Amarrian and not Minmatar slaves.. I hope this is the fact, if it is their own people though who are we to judge? The Amarr hold religion above life, almost like a law, and they follow that, just as Caldarin citizens are bound by State Law's, and as are the Gallente and the Minmatar, even the pirate groups of New Eden have laws and religions, and if they break those laws, those religions, they are killed depending on the seriousness of the crime, that happens all over New Eden, the Amarr merely take care of it there own way, we can not judge, for we treat people we consider criminals with punishments equal to their crime, for the Amarr their religion is their life, and their number reason for living, despite what you my think of it, they are not so much different, what is the difference of a Caldarin CEO being hung for breaking the States laws, and for a Amarrian killing one of their own for breaking their religion or attempting to subvert it, their is no difference in the long run, I'm sure your people have a way of dealing with whom they consider traitors, do they not? The Amarr do not call you out on this.

Think about it, is there really so much difference between one of your own committing your equivalent of a capital crime, and being executed for it, compared to a Amarrian breaking their laws and being executed?

There religion is there life, it is their way, their faith, we may or may not agree with all of it, but the same can be said of all our races practices, and to the Amarr, their religion is the law, the one true law if I'm not mistaken, it is what they live for, if someone breaks that, and it is serious crime (trying to subvert it or use it to there advantage or gains) then they deserve to be executed, just as i believe a citizen of the state should be executed for breaking our laws and practices.

From what little i know of the Sani Sabik, keep in mind i am a military commander, so i know little of the history, so if i get it wrong please correct me, but the Sani Sabik were the precursors to the Blood Raiders, and they were the ones who originally mutated and changed the teachings of the Amarri (i do apologise, but i do not know the actual name of your religion, I'm sure i will be informed at the festival) and made a warped version of it, believing they were born "higher" then the rest of New Eden and that everyone else was born to serve, they sacrificed people for the blood and did strange rituals, they even took poeple against there will, which the Blood Raiders still do today if i am informed correctly, my expertise is in Gurista's, so apologies if i am misinformed, but if this is true.. That would make you worse then the Amarr, would it not? They kill those who trespass against them an destroy or attempt to subvert their faith, their life.. But Blood Raiders and by extension Sani Sabik, with the exception of the Gallente groups, i am given to believe they use each others blood, still just as disturbing, but Blood Raiders kidnap innocents and sacrifice them, even people who are not Sani Sabik in origin, the Amarr punish their own, they don't walk into a Gallente settlement and burn them all because they do not share the same faith.

In this Savonarola-hanni, i agree with you, the Sani Sabik are a dark and subverted cult that has taken your faith and attempted the darken its light, you will hear no protest from me, but i will not celebrate death, though i condone it, i am looking forward to learning more about the Amarrian way.

The Contessa della Solfete

Dear Lady Erin Savonarola,

I would be honoured to attend the festival with your permission of course.

Eagerly anticipating your reply.

Respectfully,

Arkon Sarain

Amarr burning other Amarr?

Win-win.

How much do you want to bet it's hardly exclusive to "other Amarr"? I am pretty sure these don't count as "Amarr" either.

I was raised in that very faith and so were many others. I'd actually bet there's more of foreign blood than True Amarr in that faith, or heretics/heathens thereof.

God willing I shall be happy to attend. Hail Amarr!

Rumors of my death are exaggerated. While some Blood Raiders no doubt thought that assassinating me, or even attempting such an act would cancel my festival, it has only hardened my resolve. I shall see you all there.
